Here's a Baby Pygmy Hippo. Here at The Next Web, we really value solid, hard hitting content. We’ve trained ourselves to prefer breaking news over sleep and love long form, thought provoking pieces too. That said, everybody needs a quick break every once and a while and this is exactly why we have our Sharables channel. So, in order to gift you some Friday cheer on this humble Thursday, I bring you something so sickeningly cute you’ll want to kiss the screen: A baby hippo named Prince Harry. Prince Harry is a Pygmy Hippo that was born this morning in South Africa at The Cango Wildlife Ranch.

He’s an adorable little guy weighing in at a healthy 5.1kg, and I’m sure his parents, Hilda and Herbert, the Pygmy Hippopotamus pair, are quite proud. Here are all the dramatic details, via Zooborns: Hilda’s water broke last Wednesday afternoon, creating much excitement and anticipation on the ranch. According to ZooBorns, the “Pygmy Hippopotamus’ wild population is classified as critically endangered. . ” ➤ ZooBorns. BC Centre for Elder Advocacy & Support | Who we are.
